Strawberry Cheese Cake(No cheese/No gelatin)

Strawberry Cheese Cake

Ever since I’ve learnt this recipe, never looked towards cream cheese post this. This recipe is simple ,

yummy and guilt free.

Ingredients:

3 big cups Nestle curd 400 gm each  (any brand would do)

½ tin or more Milkmaid

¼ tsp salt

1o-12 strawberries washed and cut

Few mint  leaves

Juice of ½ lemon

For the base:

1 packet digestive biscuits

50gm melted butter

Method:

Tie the curd in a muslin cloth and leave it for at least 3-4 hours or till all the water drains out.For the base 

put the digestive biscuits in a plastic  food bag and crush to crumbs using a rolling pin or this can be done

 in a mixer too but keep it slightly coarse . Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, then pour over 50g melted butter.

 Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated. Tip them into the prepared tin or flat bowl and

 press firmly down into the base to create an even layer. Cover with a cling film and allow the base to cool

in the freezer for ½ hour.

Take another bowl and  pour in the hung curd,mix  in the milk maid+ salt+mint leaves and lemon juice.

 Now bruise /crush 4-5 strawberries and add it to the curd mix. Adjust sweetness by adding more milkmaid 

if needed. Now pour this mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Top it up with more biscuit crumbs, decorate

 it with cut strawberries and a few mint leaves. Cover it with a cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Serve once chilled n believe me it Gets over in no time ;)

Ps: The texture of this cheesecake is not as dense and sturdy as a cream cheese cake but the taste is yummmm
